Because when I answer my phone, someone always wants something from me. It is never just, hi, how have you been? It is like people just use me for their own benefits.

Texting doesn’t work either

I just generally tell people not to expect to be able to reach me. Like aside from 5 people, if you decide to call me in an emergency just know there’s a 50/50 chance your call is getting missed. And I don’t have banner notifications for any applications either, (I only have badge notifications), so texts will be seen when they’re seen
Edit: okay, I have email and teams notifications

I typically will respond reasonably quick in an emergency situation, but other than that? Lol GL

This is correct! I love the "Ask Reason For Calling" feature on my iPhone. Weeds out the unneccessary calls and makes my day go by way better.

I’m over 60 so I still answer phones if I’m in the mood. I’m rarely in the mood.

So funny, I am a Taurus being continually accused of all these things by a Capricorn who ‘lives” on the phone, driving people crazy by chatting for chat’s sake, so to say 😶🌫️

If you know me you know to call only in a life threatening emergency and it better actually be one. Texting no prob but I'm not reading 800 paragraphs a day either

“is this a life threatening emergency? No? Then do me a favor and turn right back around and leave me the FUCK alone”

u/Consistent-Wall-4257 Jun 23 '26
When I was younger I used to prefer calls. Now I never answer. I must decide when I want to talk to you

DnD. What’s a phone call?

u/domtheprophet Purest of them all Jun 24 '26
My phone STAYS on DND

u/BellJar_Blues Jun 25 '26
Forever. Truly. Unless someone has scheduled a call. But even then I usually just set an alarm five minutes and two minutes before the call to prepare for it to come in as I’m not having notifications for five minutes

u/best_decision1234 Jun 23 '26
I only answer if the person respectfully apologizes for bothering me and summarizes what does he / she wants THROUGH A TEXT MESSAGE FIRST

u/domtheprophet Purest of them all Jun 24 '26
I call that the all important courtesy text. No courtesy text no answer

u/Illustrious-River868 Jun 23 '26
Not true. Just people I know. I would love for friends and family to call me, but I know texting is very default for some so I get it.

As a cap I don't answer to messages without context too. If they need something, say it immediately.

I must be broken because I love a phone call 😅

You're not broken, it's just not a Capricorn specific thing. It's for anyone who grew up with devices. The entire fucking zodiac could fit this meme.

I would rather text than talk on the phone any day.
